Summary

Breakups are always hard. But when you're completely blindsided by a breakup, moving forward can be especially tough.

It's normal to ruminate non-stop about what happened and the signs that you missed. And your ex likely didn't stick around long enough to give you answers either — if they avoided important conversations during your relationship, chances are they're really avoiding them now.

So how can you make sense of this uniquely painful experience, heal your heart, and eventually, feel safe opening yourself up to love again? That's what we're talking about on this episode of the podcast.

You'll learn about:

Why blindsided breakups happen.
Why they're so difficult to process.
The path to growth and healing.

I hope you'll join me!

xoxo,

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby

0:00.0	On today's show, we're talking about how to process a breakup that you didn't see coming,
0:07.2	because getting dumped is hard enough when you know your relationship is on the rocks.
0:14.3	But when you think everything is going okay only to be blindsided by a surprise ending,
0:24.1	that's an experience that can be really difficult to get over because not just are you mourning the relationship, there's like an emotional
0:29.4	trauma involved.
0:31.5	So that's what we're talking about on today's show.
0:34.0	And setting the mood for us today are the butthole surfers with the song,
0:38.6	Hey, which somehow I felt was appropriate. And also, I wanted to share before we move into today's
0:45.9	topic that we're going to be doing things a little bit differently, starting today. Specifically,
0:53.3	I am taking this show to YouTube. I have resisted this for so many
0:59.9	years and the time has come, though, to actually show my face and be more public. And I hope to
1:07.7	make this a nice experience for you. So every week, not just going to be recording an audio
1:13.2	version of this, which is my preference. I enjoy hiding behind my microphone. But really, putting
1:18.5	together a presentation for you, I'll have additional resources that you can get to right from
1:23.9	the episode itself on YouTube. Of course, we'll be talking to fun guests, and you'll be able to see those conversations.
1:30.3	And I think I just hope that it's like a more interactive experience.
1:34.6	You can come and hang out in my office with me.
1:38.2	So I hope that this format feels nice to you.
1:40.8	And of course, you can still always listen to the audio version.
1:43.5	Wherever you like to listen, we'll be doing that as well. But you're going to see more of me on YouTube.
1:48.9	You can follow me on YouTube at Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby. And thank you in advance for the state of my
